I got rid of a ton of stuff coming back from France, even though we still had the house - I just wanted a clear up. Sold (yes sold) a box of ancient computer crap to some family wanting computer bits. I'm not sure if they thought they'd got a bargain or what, they seemed happy that I dropped the pri...

Congrats!

Happy 5000!

Have a server upgrade from stretch to buster as a present :D

oh BTW just did a good strip down, blew the fluff out the fans and new thermal compound (coolermaster in case you were wondering) and it's back to how I expect.
Watching a youtube vid, updating a VM in oracle and my set of tabs open and it's barely above 50C :D Good advice chaps!

^ lol yeah a domain sure, but not using a VPS to attack websites ?

^ I would definitely use that IP checker (I am an admin on another non-linux forum and often have to look up IPs for new registrations and other places where people look dodgy). currently this is my fave: https://www.geodatatool.com/ mainly because it clears the damn search bar so you can put anoth...

it's a bash script wrapped in PHP, as you may have guessed :D I told our CTO who immediately and brutally introduced me to a problem; searching for 'example.com ; cat /etc/passed' also works as expected. that's fixed now though ;) The next thing I seem to have to create is a decent IP checker. Like ...

I MADE A THING:

Yes I do need to clean out the fan and re-paste the cpu. the intakes are totally caked with, well, possibly cake. dust and junk. I mean ambiently it is getting hotter here too. I've got a new battery coming so.... unlikely to get 8 hours of battery, but 3 or 4 would be amazing. current top actually ...

Well, I would recommend it, the first 5 episodes at least. maybe the whole first series. Going to see what S2 is like later.

I upgraded the kids machine to Focal and it's ok... it seems to have broken folding at home client. Minecraft and Steam still works so I'm ok there :) I want to totally de-bloat my work laptop, as it only does work. and a 2015 i7 is feeling the heat (literally) now and again under load (ie more that...

wife has effectively vetoed The Expanse, by wandering off again, doing something else. I've no doubt the books would be better.
We are onto Mr Robot which she really likes. I only caught the first season when it came out. So all good.

so i got conned/coerced into an amazon prime subscription and I thought I'd watch Picard. Which I thought was really good, enough of the new generation looking old, but not all of them, some nice performances, of course dominated by Sir Pat. Once that ended we watched 'Upload' which was pretty good....

well, they all look like the kinda movies I would avoid even if it was just me watching. Also - the avg rating is below or at ~6 on IMDB :D

Ok no word of a lie - I got annoyed I couldn't recall anything more about my wonderful description above and so I get youtube music up and go through everything it's got on four tet. nope... One last try - I ask my personal wire tap "play that four tet track which goes do do do do deet do" https://w...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LtsjqgF6fw this nuits sonores track is the bomb. the others are pretty good. fuck 26 quid for a 2nd hand copy on vinyl :o he likes french for some reason. which is nice. Sounds a bit like that four tet track, maybe a remix of it. maybe remixed by him. cold filtered o...

I like this guy:

wow 5.4 on imdb. (my usual unscientific guide rating is +6 = worth a watch) I must watch it now though !

^ I found some excerpts of it and found it hard going too.. I mean I get the slang but didn't really feel like it was going anywhere I wanted to go.
